Police: Wilton pot dealer caught with over 3 ounces

WILTON — A Wilton man is being charged with intent to sell marijuana after cops seized more than three ounces of the drug in a routine traffic stop, police said.

Police said Gregory Goldstein, 20, was pulled over around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday for traveling 53 mph in a 40-mph zone.

In speaking with Goldstein, police said an odor of marijuana was detected inside the vehicle. A search of Goldstein revealed two bags of marijuana and a wax paper fold with marijuana oil hidden in his “groin area,” according to the police report.

A subsequent search of Goldstein’s car revealed a backpack with multiple ounces of marijuana, as well as drug paraphernalia. In total, police said they seized approximately 3.9 ounces of marijuana.

Police said that since Goldstein was determined to be a drug dealer, they also repossessed the $627 and Samsung Galaxy cell phone in his possession.

Goldstein was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of a narcotic, possession of drug paraphernalia, traveling too fast and failure to carry a driver’s license. He was held on a $2,000 bond and given a court date of April 5.
